My pipe is out, my glass is dry;My fire is almost ashes too;But once again, before you go,And I prepare to meet the New;Old Year! a parting word that's true,For we've been comrades, you and I--I thank God for each day of you;There! bless you now! Old Year, good-bye!

A Student is the most important person ever in this school...in person, on the telephone, or by mail.A Student is not dependent on us...we are dependent on the Student.A Student is not an interruption of our work..the Studenti s the purpose of it. We are not doing a favor by serving the Student...the Student is doing us a favor by giving us the opportunity to do so.A Student is a person who brings us his or her desire to learn. It is our job to handle each Student in a manner which is beneficial to the Student and ourselves.Adapted from an L.L. Bean Co. poster: What is a customer? by J. M. Eaten

Aldous Huxley

The most valuable gift you can receive is an honest friend.

Stephen Richards

There must be a reason why some people can afford to live well. They must have worked for it. I only feel angry when I see waste. When I see people throwing away things that we could use.

Mother Theresa

Whatever the medium, there is the difficulty, challenge, fascination and often productive clumsiness of learning a new method: the wonderful puzzles and problems of translating with new materials.
